The six crystal types, where they drop, and why wildcard crystals belong on the Special board.





AION 2 genus Soul Crystal item icons.
Six crystals
Cogni, Fera, Natura, and Varian each have a colored Soul Crystal. Special has its own crystal. A plain Soul Crystal is the wildcard and works on every board, including Special.
AION2 Guide and Aion 2 Atlas describe that split. Family crystals drop from monsters whose pet you have already maxed. Special crystals come from duty quests and hidden cubes, which is why they are scarce.
Where to spend them
Use each colored crystal on its own board. Keep plain Soul Crystals for Special. The other four boards can be fed by farming.
One analysis with nothing locked costs 4 crystals and 1,000 Kinah. The calculator applies the lock table on top of that.
Collection milestones
Wikily, re-read on 15 Oct 2026, lists 100 bound Soul Crystals at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90, 110, 120, 130, 140, 160, 170, 180, and 190 pets, and 10 bound Empathy Candy at 50, 100, 150, and 200. That page stops at 200. Elite Grind Lab describes a longer pattern through 490. We quote the list we could re-read, and we do not extend it.
Cubes and keys
Aion 2 Maps, citing a datamine, says a Hidden Cube opened with a key pays 1,000 crystals, and that the Conquest cube does the same. AION2 Guide calls keys the fastest bulk source. We have not opened a cube on this project, so the 1,000 figure stays marked single-source.
